Posted at 8:40am on Saturday 26th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
It's got real cold and real snowy real quick at Madarao. 10cm fell overnight but it is currently dumping and forecast to snow all day. So if you like your goggles fogged and your face frostbitten. Today is just right for you. The snow is forecast to ease off by tomorrow, so Sunday may be a better day if you don`t like fogged lens and frostbite.
If on top of the frostbite and fogged goggles, you also want to risk a major fracture to add to the joy, you can also try the new free ride park at Madarao. Today the resort will open a whole range of new walls, kickers and boxes. Please ski responsibly and take care out there.
And for all the Australians out there...Happy Australia Day!
